  • After three days of presenting evidence,

  • the Democrats finally wrapped up their case

  • in the impeachment trial of President Donald Jolene Trump.

  • -(laughter) -And now...

  • Trump's defense is taking the floor

  • and presenting their arguments.

  • And it basically boils down to this:

  • one, this is just a political attack by the Democrats;

  • two, Trump did nothing wrong;

  • and three, there are no first-hand witnesses

  • who spoke to Trump about a quid pro quo.

  • And that last one is pretty ballsy, right?

  • Because how are you gonna complain

  • about having no eyewitnesses

  • when you're the ones blocking the eyewitnesses?

  • Right? It's a pretty slick move. You can't have it both ways.

  • It's like, if you're a vegan, you can't complain

  • about all the chickpeas in your life, okay?

  • Yeah. You chose that chickpea life.

  • Now you just got to stay quiet, except for all the farts.

  • -But that's you. -(laughter)

  • But now, this is where it gets interesting.

  • Right in the middle of Team Trump

  • making that argument about witnesses, we got some big news

  • from someone who Democrats have been trying to get to testify

  • in this trial.

  • And I'm talking about John Bolton--

  • former Trump national security advisor

  • -and star of HBO's Deadwood. -(laughter)

  • You see... the White House has been terrified

  • about what he might tell the Senate,

  • and now it looks like we know why.

  • NEWSWOMAN: Breaking overnight bombshell:

  • Former national security advisor John Bolton

  • ready to turn on the president,

  • as news leaks from his explosive new book

  • about what he claims really happened with Ukraine.

  • Bolton says the president told him

  • that he wanted to continue freezing $391 million

  • in security assistance to Ukraine

  • until officials there helped with investigations

  • into Democrats, including the Bidens.

  • President Trump signaling that he is going to paint

  • John Bolton as a disgruntled former employee.

  • Take a look at his tweet from earlier today-- he says:

  • Wow. This is a big deal.

  • Because we now know that if Bolton testifies

  • he would say that Trump personally told him

  • that he wanted to hold up aid to Ukraine

  • until he got dirt on the Bidens.

  • Which is the whole thing.

  • This is the heart of the entire impeachment thing.

  • So I don't know how Senate Republicans can justify

  • not hearing from Bolton now.

  • Like, like, there's no reason.

  • Imagine an eyewitness to a murder wanted to testify,

  • and the judge just refused.

  • You know, just like, "Your Honor, I-I-I saw this man,

  • and I saw the crime first-hand."

  • He'd be like, "Up-bup-bup-bup. No spoilers, no spoilers.

  • -(laughter) -I want to see how it ends."

  • And by the way, is Trump... is Trump really gonna argue

  • that John Bolton is just another disgruntled employee?

  • 'Cause I don't know about you, but he...

  • he sure seems to have a lot of "disgruntled employees."

  • Like, how come nobody ever leaves the White House gruntled?

  • -(laughter) -Hmm? Just like, "Thank you, Mr. President.

  • I am so gruntled to have worked with you."

  • So, Bolton's book has thrown a big, hairy curveball

  • into this impeachment trial.

  • But believe or not, the Bolton revelations

  • aren't the only big new piece of evidence.

  • Because remember Lev Parnas?

  • Yes? Rudy Giuliani's right-hand man

  • and the Count from Sesame Street?

  • -laughter) -Well...

  • after Parnas said that he worked for Trump

  • to get dirt on Joe Biden,

  • Trump repeatedly claimed he has no idea who this man is.

  • That's even though they've appeared in more photos together

  • than Mariah Carey and Christmas trees.

  • So now the question is, is Trump lying

  • about not knowing Parnas,

  • or is Parnas lying about knowing Trump?

  • Well, it turns out Parnas has the receipts.

  • NEWSWOMAN: Breaking overnight:

  • the release of an explosive new audiotape

  • that reportedly features President Trump

  • speaking to Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas

  • at a dinner in 2018.

  • NEWSMAN: On the tape, a voice identified as Parnas

  • can be heard telling Trump that the ambassador to Ukraine

  • was bad-mouthing him.

  • -PRESIDENT TRUMP: Really? It's incredible. -(laughter)

  • President Trump has repeatedly said

  • he doesn't know Lev Parnas,

  • but on the tape they talk in detail about Ukraine.

  • White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said

  • the gathering doesn't mean the president knew of

  • or even remembered Lev Parnas.

  • Uh, the president sits at many, many dinners,

  • at many, many round tables with people that he does not know.

  • (like Grisham): Yeah. The president has

  • many, many dinners, sometimes all on the same night.

  • (laughter)

  • Like, come on, guys, I'm sorry, you-you...

  • you just can't keep pretending

  • that Trump doesn't know this guy.

  • All right? Because first they said Trump wouldn't remember

  • all the people he takes photos with.

  • Okay. I understand that.

  • Now they're saying Trump can't remember

  • all the people he has private dinners with?

  • What's next? They're gonna be like,

  • "Look, the president gets

  • matching 'quid pro quo' back tattoos

  • "with a lot of people.

  • He can't be expected to remember all of them."

  • (laughter)

  • But another thing this tape demonstrates

  • is that, once again, this president has

  • an insane number of people who are secretly recording him.

  • Like, this is not normal. Do you know how many people

  • have secretly recorded Trump now?

  • Lawyers, aids, henchmen.

  • Basically everyone Trump trusts with his secrets

  • -is wearing a wire. -(laughter)

  • At this point, we have enough tapes to produce an album--

  • which is... exactly what we did.

  • ANNOUNCER: Are you ready to hear President Trump...

  • unfiltered, uncensored

  • and unaware that he's being recorded?

  • Introducing:

  • The president put his trust in a few select people,

  • and they've been taping his ass the whole time.

  • You'll hear recordings from Lev Parnas...

  • ...Michael Cohen...

  • and this classic call with Omarosa

  • when he pretended he didn't know she got fired.

  • We've selected the best from over 500,000 hours of audio,

  • from places like: the Access Hollywood tape...

  • TRUMP: Grab 'em by the pussy.

  • Take advantage now, because we will never have

  • a president this gullible again.

  • Not anymore. And if you call in the next five minutes,

  • we'll add this bonus DVD:

  • (sniffing)

  • -Call now! -ANNOUNCER 2: There's no guarantee

  • recordings will lead to impeachment.
